Harada Aoi blog: Onigiri, baseball, a yukata covered with kisses...plus birthday photos

Aoi's blog is often about food. In Thursday's post she was eager to eat the onigiri (filled rice-ball) you see in the pictures:





She even adds a hash tag: #おにぎり食べたい (= #wanttoeatonigiri).

A comment pointed out what an interesting way she has of holding the onigiri. I just thought of it as elegant, but they point out that it looks like the grip used by a baseball pitcher to throw a kind of fastball:


Aoi is in fact a baseball fan, a fan of Chunichi Dragons -- even though they are in Nagoya, far from her hometown of Tokyo:



In the same blog post, Aoi shows a lip-mark-covered yukata from the mechakari fashion-rental system the Keyakis use:


She says it's from E hyphen world gallery bonbon, whose clothes she likes, and she was just thinking how much she'd like a yukata from them when it showed up and she immediately reserved it.

It would cost Y9000 (~$82) to buy, but she gets to rent it free as part of the arrangement between Keyakizaka and mechakari. Ordinary mortals pay Y5800 ($53) a month to be able to rent three pieces of clothing at a time.

Also, for anyone who missed it, here are some photos from the brilliant arrangements for her birthday celebration (she turned 17 on 7 May). The committee who arranged it called it a "birthday flight" on "AAL" -- "Aoi Airlines":









Finally, here are two photos (hopefully offshots, with that odd lighting) from a magazine session featuring Aoi and Watanabe Risa:

  1. That AAL bday concept is really witty! I think they even have shirts made? Fuu chan posted something in her blog.
